A novel antisense oligonucleotide targeting survivin expression induces apoptosis and sensitizes lung cancer cells to chemotherapy.
Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein, deserves attention as a selective target for cancer therapy because it lacks expression in differentiated adult tissues but is expressed in a variety of… Expand
Circulating DNA: a new diagnostic gold mine?
The recent discovery that cell-free DNA can be shed into the bloodstream as a result of tumour cell death has generated great interest. Numerous studies have demonstrated tumour-specific alterations… Expand
Inflammation-associated Cell Cycle–independent Block of Apoptosis by Survivin in Terminally Differentiated Neutrophils
Survivin has received great attention due to its expression in many human tumors and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer. Survivin expression has been described to be cell cycle–dependent… Expand
Antisense therapy for cancer--the time of truth.
The recent acceleration in the identification and characterisation of new molecular targets for cancer and the limited effectiveness of conventional treatment strategies has focused considerable… Expand
Involvement of hTERT in apoptosis induced by interference with Bcl-2 expression and function
Here, we investigated the role of telomerase on Bcl-2-dependent apoptosis. To this end, the 4625 Bcl-2/Bcl-xL bispecific antisense oligonucleotide and the HA14-1 Bcl-2 inhibitor were used. We found… Expand
Induction of apoptosis and enhancement of chemosensitivity in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells using bispecific antisense oligonucleotide targeting Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐xL genes
To determine whether a specifically designed bispecific (Bcl‐2/Bcl‐xL) antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) induces apoptosis and enhances chemosensitivity in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells, as Bcl‐2… Expand
Silencing of death receptor and caspase-8 expression in small cell lung carcinoma cell lines and tumors by DNA methylation
AbstractSmall cell lung cancer cell lines were resistant to FasL and TRAIL-induced apoptosis, which could be explained by an absence of Fas and TRAIL-R1 mRNA expression and a deficiency of surface… Expand
PEGylation and Multimerization of the Anti-p185HER-2 Single Chain Fv Fragment 4D5
A major goal in antibody design for cancer therapy is to tailor the pharmacokinetic properties of the molecule according to specific treatment requirements. Key parameters determining the… Expand
The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod as a therapeutic agent: Recent findings and new perspectives.
The immunomodulatory drug fingolimod (FTY720, GilenyaR) was approved for oral treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, due to its impressive efficacy and good tolerability.… Expand
Bcl-2 and CCND1/CDK4 expression levels predict the cellular effects of mTOR inhibitors in human ovarian carcinoma
Molecular markers enabling the prediction of sensitivity/resistance to rapamycin may facilitate further clinical development of rapamycin and its derivatives as anticancer agents. In this study,… Expand
